Speed and extended battery life for laptops. What's not to like?

Yes it would be small but still much larger than a USB stick. The connections also work differently. This is SATA and the other is USB 3, it just cannot achieve the same speeds yet

I hope it was just mine faulty/slow (about 70MB/s write) but I recon it was fine as I've had over 450MB/s read speeds

But that cheaper Integral is more.... dodgy - I gave You evidence

I think you get me wrong.
I was saying although Evo is faster in all speeds during test, but there is barely any noticeable difference on real life performance as system drive between my evo 250G and Integral 120G.
I was recommending to go for the cheaper one. And suggesting paying more for Evo will not give you a speed difference in real life other than testing.

True Evo 850 is way faster - but show me the one for £25 for 120GB

I have the same Integral drive, my write speed is 432.63MB/s. I think it is your individual case.
Anyway, the sequential speeds are not really important when used as system drive. It is the 4k-64k random speeds matters.
Speed for Integral P Series 4 120G
Samsung Evo has better speeds in every level, sequential/4k/64k. But the system performance difference is not very noticeable between my 250GB Evo or 120GB Integral.

What speeds You had? I've had that Integral - read speeds were fine - over 400MB/s - but write speeds....... JESUS CHRIST :/ slower than classic HDD - 70MB/s!!!!

1. USB 3.0, which can handle up to 5gbps (640MBps) - and that is OFFICIAL
2. I'm not talk about those USB sticks like finger nail size - but like thumb size :smiley:

Seems to be the standard price for an entry level 120gb ssd - I bought one of the Intergral ones at £24.99 a while ago. It's doing the job in my laptop! Not sure how this stacks up against that one....

show me 120GB USB stick with such a speeds :/
Don't tell me they are so expensive because so small - so I say - open up ie. that SSD and You will see so small board

I suggest you read more about the 2 interfaces and size relativity before making comments like that.

Great deal! You would probably pay double that price for the same capacity elsewhere! Have some heat...

Had this ssd on my new desktop build, worked 5 days and it burned, apparently this one was a part of bad batch, many of them has been returned at the same time. Better pay little more for some samsung evo drive!
